Hi,
I'm about to start putting together some guitar amps for the fun of it and I already have most of the components I need. I ordered the following tube sockets and now that I've tried to work with them, I'm baffled:

When I tried to attach them to the chassis, the gold saddle plate doesn't sit on the chassis surface. Rather, it hovers above the chassis with at least 1/16" gap, maybe a bit more. I feel that the saddle plate should sit right on the chassis so that the metal doesn't bend when I tighten the bolts.
Am I correct in thinking that there's something wrong with this? Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gord
